What Makes Our Teachers Great

Experts in Elementary Education

At Carey, teaching is job one. So we only hire the best. Talk with any of our teachers, and you’ll see how they bring our academic program to life.

High Standards

Our teaching team is key to Carey’s success. All of our teachers have teaching credentials, and many have master’s degrees. We offer regular professional development opportunities to keep our teaching current with the latest educational research and trends. Our teachers are busy, but they dedicate time to collaborate on curriculum design, brainstorm new approaches, and learn from each other.

Elementary Dedication

Our faculty know the developmental stages of elementary students. They also understand the needs of diverse learners and create high-quality yet flexible teaching plans to reach all of them. We maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio to give each student the space and attention they need. In fact, many of our classrooms have two teachers working together and offering students the best of both.

Life of the Party

Ready for a dinosaur dig? Want to reenact Ellis Island in the 1920s? Can’t wait to race handmade solar cars? Carey teachers make learning fun. They’re also our spirit champions, whether dressing up like idioms on Halloween or walking side-by-side with students and families at our annual Walkfest. Carey teachers make magic happen.
